Pros

Lots of career opportunities to move around once you're in. Career development resources if you know where to look. Engineering backgrounds, industry experience, and MBA's are held in high regard. Strong emphasis on collaborative culture and continuous improvement. Management is approachable and interested in everyone's opinions. Recently they improved vacation benefits company wide.

Cons

Networking is relied on too much for promotions rather than work experience and work ethic. It can feel like "your grandfather's company" at times.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
